Description

Russia has a long-lasting experience in successful utilization of the reprocessed uranium fuel with different types of reactors. Stages of implementing the RepU fuel for WWER reactors are presented.The nuclear design assays, radiation and nuclear safety analysis during fabrication and handling of the fuel are made. The operational experience of commercial batches is summarized. It is shown that the RepU fuel characteristics meet the design limitations, approved for WWER reactors. (authors)
